OPERATION
HOW TO USE YOUR JACK STANDS
TO SUPPORT A VEHICLE
1. Raise the vehicle or load with an
automotive jack.
2. Adjust jack stand height by pulling up
on ratchet bar. The weight of the locking
handle should lock the ratchet bar into
a secure position. To verify this, simply
push down on the locking handle to
ensure that the ratchet bar is secured.
3. Carefully position the stands beneath
the load so that when load is lowered it
will contact the center of the jack stand
saddles.

4. Always use jack stands as a pair and
only on those parts of a vehicle which
can be fully captured between the outer
lugs of each stand’s saddle.
Rated capacity of jack stands is per
pair, it is NOT the sum of individual
capacities unless specifically noted to
the contrary by the jack stand
manufacturer. Do Not exceed rated
capacity. Ensure that the vehicle
support points are fully captured
between the outer lugs of both jack
stands. Use a matched pair of jack
stands per vehicle to support 1 end
only. Use 1 pair per vehicle only.
Failure to do so may result in sudden
loss of load, which may cause personal
injury and/or property damage.
5. Slowly and carefully lower the load
completely onto the stands, ensure that
the load is centered and captured as
described in Step 4.
6. Check to ensure that load is secure on
stands before working under vehicle.
TO REMOVE AND STORE JACK
STANDS

suitable jack.
2. Raise the locking handle to allow ratchet
bar to glide down to lowest position.
3. Carefully remove stands.
4. Carefully lower vehicle with jack.
5. Ensure that all tools, equipment and
personnel are clear before lowering
